AA App

[JJDriver]

I just took the personality questionnaire for the AA application. After completing what appeared to be the last section and clicking Next I was brought back to the registration page and logged out. My app shows the test completed but I never saw a comfirmation screen and not sure if I timed out being partially complete. Has anyone else experienced this? BTW, for those who haven't started yet SAVE OFTEN!

 

[t-bone]

I think you're fine. Same thing happened to me, but I was able to log right back in and continue. It looks like they lock down the assessment once completed, and what we both saw is part of that process.

 

[relief tube]

did it really take the 20-30 mins they say?

 

[t-bone]

did it really take the 20-30 mins they say?

Yes.

Now do they really need to know how many landings I have in a PA28? Anyone know how to extract that kind of minutia data out of Logbook Pro?

 

[JJDriver]

Thanks, I heard from some friends and it sounds like it's normal. It would've been nice to have some confirmation of actually completing it. Yes it does take a good 20-30 minutes.

T-Bone, on Logbook Pro go to the analyzer page where it lists everything about each airplane you've flown to find the landings. For the 12 and 24 month questions I just changed the dates and it will show you're hours and airplanes in that time frame.

Thanks, I just found that myself. Works great, lasts long time.

personality questionnaire

You gotta be sh1ttin me...

You gotta be sh1ttin me...

Nope. It's interesting too. The first question bank deals with decision making, i.e. Do your emotions or feelings ever affect your decisions or are they always based on logic and the facts etc.

Also, a direct question on the certifications page "have you ever been a fighter pilot". Thought that was interesting.

Took me 2 days to fill out the app!

 

[JJDriver]

Tech support responded to the email about the test logging you out. They said as long as you get the green check mark you're good to go.

 

[WAZUP]

For most recent employer, do you just put down your current airline or the one previous? Curious cause the reason for leaving doesn't have a still employed box.

 

[WAZUP]

Oops, nevermind.

1. Employment history.. 10 years ok?
2. Necessary to break down every single engine variant of a 152 etc or lump it altogether under "other single engine..."?

 

[asayankee]

I lumped all single engine piston together and all multi-engine piston. Why would they care if it was a 150, 152, 172, PA-28, etc.... If they want to ask about it during a logbook review they will.

 

[atr42flyer]

so what did you guys do with airplanes that you have no pic in, but dual received?

I have put it down as sic on the app and thought I can explain my logic behind that in an interview. The reason is I want the total time to on the app to match my logbook.

make sense? what did you all do?

From the AA VP weekly update.

It?s been just about 12 years since we last hired pilots, and as I said in the announcement, this means movement and more opportunity ? things we?ve all been looking forward to. The application window opened on Oct. 1 and 24 hours later, more than 4,000 applications had been submitted. Suffice it to say, there is considerable interest, and I?m confident we?ll have our pick of the best of the best!


And if you have someone recommending you, this may be of interest:

We?ve worked hard to simplify things and handle the massive workload of processing qualified applicants. Your feedback is important, so we?ve created an online method for you to recommend an applicant, which ensures that all information is tied to the correct person.

As you can imagine, my desk and my schedule are hectic, and my staff and I cannot effectively handle the influx of requests for new hire recommendations. I feel that if you?ve taken the time to write a recommendation letter, you want it to be associated with the correct person, so to make sure that I do not interfere with that process, I will not be accepting letters of recommendation through email or at my office.

To make a recommendation, be sure that the individual has completed the application and that you have the email address they used in their application profile. From there, it?s simple - goto AACareers.com, click on the ?Apply now? link in the Pilot section, then click on the ?Recommendations? tab in the upper right hand side of the page.

That Psych test was something though. Hope I did ok

I personally didn't combine any Dual Received time and SIC in the app from my earlier stages of flight training, simply because they didn't ask for Dual Received entries and there is an actual difference, by FAR definition, between Dual and SIC. As for combining C-152, 172 etc I don't think that will matter one bit, but I could be dead wrong. When you look at the aircraft drop-down list in the app, there are a few inconsistencies when selecting "types". The Airbus time drops down as one selection, as A319/320/321 which was nice. But when you look for the RJ types, it is broken up under CRJ200, 700, and 900 as separate entries, but we all know that is one Type. Further examples are the BE-40 Beechjet and MU-30 Diamond jet (same aircraft) drops down as one plane, but Cessna 150, 152, 172, 172RG etc all stand alone. You might drive yourself mad going back and counting your night, and landings in a 152 vs a 172 and 172 RG and I'd be really surprised if the interviewer expected the same.

Again, just my opinion..nothing official.
